Method "To transform all values into g C, the molar masses of C and CO2 were applied (12 and 44 g/mol, respectively), and a molar mass of 30 g/mol was used as a general form of carbohydrate (CH2O). Therefore, measurements of CO2 fluxes were multiplied by the molar ratio 12/44, and dry biomass values were multiplied by the molar ratio 12/30."
Comments "Compartment-specific C pools (Table 2) were calculated for stem, branches and twigs, cones, foliage, and the belowground stem-root transition section, using allometric equations based on the harvest of 28 trees (primary source [1]) pools in coarse and fine roots were calculated from (primary source [2]) and (primary source [3]), respectively. Compound-specific C pools were calculated for starch and soluble sugars in stem, foliage, and roots by multiplying the concentration values (% dry biomass) by the calculated compartment-specific C pools."
